Typhoon Nalgae is forecast to strike Vietnam at about 02:00 GMT on Oct. 5, according to Tropical Storm Risk.

Nalgae is expected to bring 1-minute maximum sustained winds to the region of around120 km/h (74 mph). Wind gusts in the area may be considerably higher.

In the Philippines, Nalgae battered Luzon's coastal towns with strong and heavy winds, causing floodwaters to rise and residents to flee for safety.

The Tropical Storm update cites data supplied by the US Navy and Air Force Joint Typhoon Warning Center, saying Nalage's point of landfall will benear17.5 N,107.3 E.

According to the Saffir-Simpson damage scale the potential property damage and flooding from a storm of Nalgae's strength (category 1) at landfall includes:

-Storm surge generally 1.2-1.5 metres (4-5 feet) above normal.

-No real damage to building structures.

-Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees.

-Some damage to poorly constructed signs.

-Some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage.

-There is also the potential for flooding further inland due to heavy rain.

Here are photos taken in the Philippines on the day of Nalgae's landfall.
